THE GREAT SCHISM OF 1054AD
Reasons for the schism • Rome’s claim to supremacy • Distinction and suppression of language • Distinction in philosophy • Filioque • Atrocities of the Fourth Crusade
Reason vs. Revealed Data Could an intellectual person who held to the reasonable new philosophies retain their faith? In order that men might have knowledge of God, free of doubt and uncertainty it was necessary for divine truth to be delivered to them by way of faith, being told to them as it were, by God himself who cannot lie. – Thomas Aquinas
